A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0m/s. Then the truck trave

ls for 20.0s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00s.
(a) How long is the truck in motion?
(b) What is the average velocity of the truck for the motion described?

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .

v = u + a t

20 = 0 + 2 t

t = 20 /2 = 10 s .

Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .

b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time

Distance travelled in first 10 s

S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²

= 100 m

Distance travelled in next 20 s

S₂= 20s x 20 m/s  = 400 m

Distance travelled in last 5 s .

deceleration in last 5 s

v = u + at

0 = 20 m/s + a x 5

a = - 4 m/s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s

s = 50 m

S₃ = 50 m

Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃

= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m

= 550 m .

Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s

= 15.71 m /s .

When water is boiled under a pressure of 2.00atm, the heat of vaporization is 2.20×106J/kg and the boiling point is 120∘C. At th
Vikki [24]

Answer:

2033219.05 J

Explanation:

V = Volume

P = Pressure = 2 atm

m = Mass of water = 1 kg

L_v = Heat of vaporization = 2.2\times 10^6\ J/kg

Work done in an isobaric system is given by

W=-P\Delta V\\\Rightarrow W=-2\times 101325\times (1\times 10^{-3}-0.824)\\\Rightarrow W=166780.95\ J

Work done is 166780.95 J

Change in internal energy is given by

\Delta U=Q-W

Heat is given by

Q=mL_v\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2.2\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow Q=2.2\times 10^6\ J

\Delta U=2.2\times 10^6-166780.95\\\Rightarrow \Delta U=2033219.05\ J

The increase in internal energy of the water is 2033219.05 J

A current of 12 amps is measured in a circuit with a total resistance of 9.0 ohms. What is the size of the voltage source that s
Serjik [45]
Data:
i (current) = 12 A
R (resistance) = 9.0 Ω
V (voltage) = ? (volts)

Formula:
V = R*i

Solving:
V = R*i
V = 9.0*12
\boxed{\boxed{V = 108\:volts}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Does the area of contact effect the frictional force . explain?​
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.
